Genesis 8

13 The flood ceaſeth 16 Nóah is commanded to come forthe of the Arke with his. 20 He ſacrificeth to the Lord. 22 God promiſeth that all things ſhal continue in their firſt ordre.
1.NOw God a remembred Nóah & b euerie beaſt, & all the cattel that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to paſſe vpon the earth, and the waters ceaſed.
2.The fountaines alſo of the depe & the windowes of heauen were ſtopped & the raine from heauen was reſtrained,
3.And the waters returned from aboue the earth, going and returning: and after the end of the hundreth and fiftieth day the waters abated.
4.And in the c ſeuenth moneth, in the ſeuententh day of the moneth, the Arke " reſted vpon the mountaines of " Ararát.
5.And the waters were going & decreaſing vntil the d tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, & in the firſt day of the moneth were the toppes of the mountaines ſene.
6.¶ So " after fourty dayes, Nóah opened yt windowe of the Arke, which he had made,
7.And ſent forthe a || rauen, which went out going forthe and returning, vntil the waters were dryed vp vpon the earth.
8.Againe he ſent a || doue from him, that he might ſe if the waters were diminiſhed from of the earth.
9.But the doue founde no reſt for the ſole of her foote: therefore ſhe returned vnto him into the Arke (for the waters were vpon the whole earth) & he e put forthe his hand, & toke her, and pulled her to him into the Arke.
10.And he abode yet other ſeuen dayes, and againe he ſent forthe the doue out of the Arke.
11.And the doue came to him in the euening, & lo, in her mouthe was an f oliue leafe that ſhe had pluckt: whereby Noáh knewe that ye waters were abated from of ye earth.
12.Notwithſtanding he waited yet other ſeuen dayes, & ſent forthe the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more.
13.¶ And in the ſix hundreth and one yere, in the firſt date of the g firſt moneth the waters were dryed vp from of the earth: & Noáh remoued the couering of the Arke & loked, & beholde, the vpper parte of the grounde was drye.
14.And in the ſeconde moneth, in the ſeuen and twentieth day of the moneth was the earth drye.
15.¶ Then God ſpake to Noáh, ſaying,
16.h Go forthe of ye Arke, thou & thy wife, & thy ſonnes & thy ſonnes wiues wt thee.
17.Bring forthe with thee euerie beaſt that is with thee, of all fleſh, bothe foule and cattel, & euerie thing that crepeth & moueth vpon the earth, that they maie brede abundantly in the earth, * & bring forthe frute and increaſe vpon the earth.
18.So Noáh came forthe, and his ſonnes, & his wife, and his ſonnes wiues with him.
19.Euerie beaſt, euerie creping thing, & euerie foule, all that moueth vpõ the earth after their kindes went out of the Arke.
20.¶ Then Noáh buylt an altar to ye Lord and toke of euerie cleane beaſt, & of euerie cleane foule, and offred i burnt offrings vpon the altar.
21.And the Lord ſmelled a k" ſauour of reſt, & ye Lord ſaid in his heart, I wil henceforth curſe the ground no more for mãs cauſe: for the imaginacion of mans * heart is euil, euen frõ his youth: nether wil I ſmite anie more all things liuing, as I haue done.
22.Hereafter l ſede time & harueſt, & colde & heate, & ſommer and winter, & daie & night ſhal not ceaſe, ſo long as the earth remaineth.
